God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. (Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22, Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19, I Peter 1:2, II Corinthians 13:14)

What we believe about Jesus...

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 1:22-23, John 1:1-5, 14:10-30, Acts 1:9-11, Romans 1:3-4, I Corinthians 15:3-4, I Timothy 6:14-15, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 4:14-15)

What we believe about the Holy Spirit...

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and the guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily. (John 14:16-17, 16:7-13, Acts 1:8, I Corintians 2:12, 3:16, II Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 5:25, Ephesians 1:13, 5:18)

What we believe about Man...

Man is made in the image of God. He is the supreme object of God's creation. God designed man to have fellowship with Him, but man became alienated from God through disobedience. As a result, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and choose to sin against God. Man is incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through his own efforts. (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 8:3-6, Isaiah 53:6a, 59:1-2, Romans 3:23, Colossians 1:21)

What we believe about the Bible...

The Bible is God's Word to all men. It is written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. It is without error. (Psalm 12:6, 119:105,160, Proverbs 30:5, II Timothy 1:13, 3:16-17, II Peter 1:20-21.)

What we believe about Salvation...

Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. (John 1:12, 14:6, Romans 5:1, 6:23, Galatians 3:26, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5)

What we believe about Eternal Security...

Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives this security. (John 10:9, II Timothy 1:12, Hebrews 7:25, 10:10-14, I Peter 1:3-5)

What we believe about Eternity...

Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God, through forgiveness and salvation. When you die, you will either spend eternity in Heaven or Hell. Eternal separation from God occurs in Hell. Eternal union with God occurs in Heaven. (John 3:16, Romans 6:23, I John 2:25, 5:11-13, Revelation 20:15)

What we believe about baptism.

Baptism is one of the 2 ordinances of our church. The other being the Lord's Supper. Baptism is obedience because Jesus was baptized in Mark 1:9 by John the Baptist. Baptism is a command because Jesus words in the 'Great Commission' Matt. 28:18-20, Jesus said "to baptize." Baptism is a demonstration that the person being baptized has said 'Yes' to following Jesus. Baptism is a picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus according to Romans 6:3-4. Finally, baptism is a time for the church family to celebrate.
